My Thirty-Fourth summer time picnic - beans; fried chicken; colesslaw

My Thirty-Fourth  summer time picnic baked beans; coleslaw; fried chicken;

Usually at a big family gathering there are a huge pots to choose from so here is how to break it down:

one scoop of beans - whether it is baked beans; 7 bean salad; etc

one scoop of cabbage salad which is usually in the form of coleslaw (8/15 new info - just discovered that fresh dill is great in store bought coleslaw.  It also gives a great burp )

one scoop fried chick (I prefer dark meat, but white meat is fine.  Make sure you leave the batter, but take out the bones

one scoop sweet dish - could be cranberry; could be ambrosia; or another fruit based dish

Bring you heavy duty blender because you are going to need to blend this smooth.  Bring you blend with about 3/4 foll with dishes and water.  You need to leave room at the top to build the foam which contacts at the stop.  You also don't want to overfill the blender so it can't puree well.

The dish will come out think which is better than too thin, because you can thin it out but you can't tighten it on the fly

SUBSTITUTES:   BBQ beans; corn-on-the-cob (shucked); taco fixings; meatballs; pasta salad

Be brave, be different.

You can make a dessert version with s'mores; milk; ice cream and birthday cake

FRESH CORN . . .  THIS WAY
